P: Photoshop creates a gude log while working with files

[mk24pm]

Beim Arbeiten mit der aktuellen Photoshop-Version hängt sich Photoshop nach kürzester Zeit auf, d.h. die Bedienoberfläche und Menüs verschwinden und ein speichern ist nicht möglich. Folgende Fehlermeldung schreibt er in die log-Datei (gude-2022-04-14.log):

[WARN] WGudeRequest::applyAutoDetectProxyAutoConfigSettings Failed to autodetect proxy settings. WinHTTP Unable To Download Script. last error code = 12167

Hat jemand ein ähnliches Problem und kann mir helfen? Vielen Dank.

Hello. I recently received a photoshop file from a coworker, when opening the file it creates a GUDE log. This is the second time this has happened. The first time, the file had became corrupted about a day after opening. Though I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the GUDE log. Either way, I've never seen this and its somewhat alarming. Thank you for your advice!

I have the same issues. Everytime I double-clicked a psd file to open in Photoshop (I have the latest version, 23.3.2) it would create this gude log. I tried the above comment and it worked for me, as well. When I unchecked the "Automatically detect settings" checkmark in the LAN Settings dialog in the Internet Properties > Connections tab, it stopped producing the gude log. I have Windows 11, OS Build 22000.675.

,,, unchecked the "Automatically detect settings" checkmark in the LAN Settings dialog in the Internet Properties > Connections tab, it stopped producing the gude log ...

It helped me too. It remains to be seen how it will affect the system as a whole.
Also to hear what the developers think about this appearing in recent versions of Photoshop.

Meine Lösung bei Windows 10, Adobe alle Applikationen letzte Aktualisierung:

Windows > Einstellungen > Netzwerk und Internet > Proxy > Einstellungen automatisch erkenne > aus

My solution on Windows 10, Adobe all applications last update:

Windows > Settings > Network and Internet > Proxy > Automatically detect settings > off

[LHClub]

Control Panel > Internet Properties > Connections tab > LAN Settings > Automatically detect settings > off

Windows > Settings > Network and Internet > Proxy > Automatically detect settings > off

this is a related settings.

Thank you for the resource. Well I don't think this is it because I have no problems with the strange file being generated when I create photoshop files my self. This has only happened on a .psd file I've recieved from a co-worker on two didfeeent files now.

Das Problem mit der gude log Datei ist auch nach dem neusesten Update Photoshop 23.4 nicht behoben.

Betriebsystem WIN 10 64-bit aktuellste Version alle Updates. Die Lösung in den LAN Einstellungen Proxy von automatisch auf off zu setzen halte ich nicht für zielführend, da dies Auswirkungen auf das System haben kann. Ich hoffe die Entwicklungsabteilung behebt nun schnellstens diesen Fehler.

23.4.1 problem still occurs.

Dieses Problem mit Photoshop ist mehr als nervig, gerade für diejenigen, die ständig damit arbeiten müssen. Und ich werde einen Teufel tun und an irgendwelchen Einstellungen "drehen". Auch bei mir werden beim Öffnen von jpg-Dateien ständig diese Dateien erzeugt. Außerdem stürzt Photoshop ständig ab - und ich habe die neueste Version, sprich 23.4.1, installiert. Außerdem sind aus dem Startbereich von Photoshop die Buttons NEUE DATEI und mitunter auch ÖFFNEN nicht zu nutzen. Das geht gar nicht. Viele verdienen ihr Brot mit Adobe-Produkten und zahlen auch - jetzt auch noch mehr - dafür, dann sollten diese Probleme auch zumindestens nach so langer Zeit gelöst sein.

hi there,

two weeks ago the creation of these "gude-[date]"-files started to occur on my computer (win10-64 bit-all updates) as well, not only when using photoshop (23.4.1) but also illustrator (26.3.1)....

very annoying to constantly having to delete all those files....

yesterday i coudn't save my illustrator work nor export it to .png-file, illustrator denied saving and also displayed a wrong file name - even more annoying....

please fix this!!!

regards

[Seehawer]

Same problem for weeks now. Deleted the sttings folder, no cure. All updates in Win 10 64 and Adobe products, no cure.

Photoshop: 23.4.1

System: Windows 10 Pro x64, 21H2, build 19044.1826

Please FIX THIS.

hi there (again),

what i figured out in the meantime (and i guess somebody already mentioned it above) is that currently the only way to avoid the creation of these "gude-[date]"-files is by not double-clicking on the file to open it but to go via "right click" -> "open with" -> "[software]"....

it's a little inconvenient but at least this seems to work and you don't have to constantly delete these annoying files.... 😉

but still: please fix this...!!!

Auch nach dem gestrigen Update, 24.7., sind die Probleme immer noch nicht behoben. Und ich habe keine Zeit dafür, den Entwicklern hier sämtliche gude.logs und Crash Berichte zu schicken. Die Adobe Suite und damit auch Photoshop wird von mir zum Broterwerb genutzt. Das Problem besteht bereits so lande. So langsam sollte sich mal was tun. Teuer genug ist die Software allemal, da erwarte ich auch eine schnelle Problemlösung. Und nicht wieder erwarten, dass ich irgendwelche Daten von und her schicke. 

[Jamie Burchell]

This is taking far too long to fix. Having these files created everywhere an image is opened is ridiculous and annoying, especially for a product as mature as Photoshop.

[Fearless_ease15B9]

Dasselbe Problem.

Es nervt fürchterlich.

[Benjamin5FC8]

This issue is still persisting on the latest build. Especially annoying as these files populate the cloud storage now.

[Peppermintpatty0]

Das Problem exisitiert nicht nur nach dem LETZTEN Update oder dem vorletzten, sondern schon viel länger. Mittlerweile betrifft es auch Illustrator und andere Programme. Außerdem stürzen die Programme bei jedem morgendlichem Erststart ab, sodass sie via str + alt + entf das jeweilige Programm geschlossen werden muss. Ich überlege nun wirklich, ob ich mir das Geld spare und auf andere Software umschwenke. Mir reicht es jetzt. Zumal die Programme bei jedem großen Update verschlimmbessert werden. So etwas geht gar nicht - und im Gegenzug die Preise erhöhen... 

[babylon_drifter]

illustrator has been affected by this for quite a while now....

the other day it was indesign that crashed at first start on my computer and i had to shut it down via task manager...!

what i find remarkable (and not in a good way) is that it has now been one month since one of the adobe officials has responded to any of the posts in this community....

is this problem really being fixed or at least worked on??

[Carmen Maria Schweiger]

Hi if got the same problem, appearing at all my latest PS but also Ai projects as well.. what can I do? ( I run the latest Versions and use Windows 10)
Thanks
Carmen

hi @Carmen Maria Schweiger ,

as i already wrote above, try to open your psd- and ai-files not by double-clicking on the file but by going via "right click" -> "open with" -> "[software]"....

seems to be the only solution right now to avoid or at least reduce the creation of the "gude-[date]"-logs....

Having the same problem for weeks, maybe even months. All updates installed. Windows 10. Happens also with Illustrator.

Always when I open a file the gude log is created but when I close the file it persists in the folder. Really annyoing.

[papcut]

I also have the same problem and it can't be solved until now 

[Carmen Maria Schweiger]

Thanks! I will do so.
